The Carrington surname is of locational origin from a place thus called in Cheshire and Lincolnshire, England, and from the lands of Carrington in East Lothian, Scotland. The name derives from the Old English pre 7th Century, carr, rock plus, ton, a farm or settlement. The middle element, ing, means, dwellers, in this case. Hence, the dwellers at the rocky settlement. The first element may also be the personal name Cara, hence, the settlement of Cara's people. The surname from both the English and Scottish sources is first recorded in the late 13th Century.
